Neymar STJD Trial: How to Watch Vini Jr. Protocol Hearing Live

Santos star Neymar Jr. has unfortunately become the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons yet again, as he will be on the agenda of the Second Disciplinary Commission of the Superior Court of Sports Justice for Football. The former Barcelona star is facing trial due to his expulsion for covering his mouth during an argument with Rodrigo Nestor, a player for Bahia, during matchweek 32 of the Brazilian Série A.

Neymar will be judged next Wednesday, October 28th 2026, and the Neymar STJD trial live stream will be available on the official STJD website. The Brazilian was sent off after halftime with a straight red card for covering his mouth with his hand during an argument with Bahia player Rodrigo Nestor, which violated the Vini Jr. protocol.

Why Did Neymar Red Card Santos vs Bahia Happen?

According to the official release on the STJD website, the Brazilian Football Confederation released the VAR audio that led to Neymar Jr's expulsion at Vila Belmiro. While the match officials did not witness the moment when the former PSG winger covered his mouth to confront midfielder Rodrigo Nestor. Referee Sávio Pereira Sampaio was alerted by the video review booth about his conduct on the field. Fans can check here how to watch Neymar STJD hearing in this Sportsdunia article.

The former Brazil national football team star was reported and will be charged under article 191, paragraph II, of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice, that deals with failing to comply with a determination of the sports governing body to which he is affiliated. The infringement from Neymar violates item 7 of the Vini Jr. Protocol, defined by the FIFA Disciplinary Code, which prohibits players from covering their mouths with their hands, shirts, or jerseys during a confrontational exchange or argument with an opponent on the pitch.
